Meet Anil Jalali

As a coach, I bring a strong ability to foster reflection, growth, and actionable outcomes through collaborative and empowered exploration with my clients. Coaching with me is a deep conversation focused on what matters to my clients. We partner together in expanding awareness, and taking actions such as towards building resilience, managing change or strategic outlook towards their goals. I enable my clients to connect with the larger organizational purpose and performance impact and enable them for sustained excellence.

About

My professional journey started 30 years ago after completing a rigorous Masters degree in HR and Bachelors in Engineering. A few years ago, I decided to take a leap of faith into a naturally related space although that needed me to invest my time in a more dedicated way.

As an Executive and Leadership Coach I followed up a successful HR career and leadership journey built as Chief People Officer and Executive Director in global, multi-cultural organizations such as Capgemini, IBM and Wipro.

In my early career, I rose quickly into leadership roles in both growing and challenging business environments, gaining wealth of experience while driving business-focused and strategic programs, working in globally diverse teams and complex environments. When I look back at the early period of my leadership, coaching was not as accessible as it is today with the new Digital world and acceleration during and post pandemic. And that’s great for anyone looking to break new ground.

I have worked across multiple sectors and diverse clients spanning Telecom, Technology, Consulting , FMCG, and Financial services. I have significant experience building talent and leadership capability across levels, driving business vitality and performance, Transformation, Organizational Design and Culture.

As an Executive Coach, I have the privilege of working with senior leaders, executives, and high-potential professionals across various industries to support them in identifying and harnessing their natural strengths. My work with leaders across levels had emphasis on talent acceleration, change management, building resilience, influence, navigating conflict and complexity to name a few.

Clients frequently praise Anil’s ability to listen attentively, summarize conversations effectively, and highlight key focus areas or nuggets for growth and reflection.

As a life long learner, I have invested considerable amount of time learning and sharpening my skills complementing and integrating with my experience gained as a leader. I completed my Newfield Coach Certification with The Coach Partnership and achieved certifications in Hogan Assessments, Leadership Circle Profile, Prosci and am an OD certified professional.

At a personal level, I have been a long distance swimmer, cricketer, trekker in my early days, and marathoner in recent years, and now support causes related to under-served segments and Yoga for wholistic well-being.

"Working with Anil has been a game changer for me as I commenced a new role. From the first session, Anil helped shape my way of thinking, encouraging me to challenge my own assumptions about my capabilities and explore different thought processes for the challenges I was facing. I feel I am in a much better position now having been through this coaching process and highly recommend Anil as a patient, attentive and professional coach.”

- Erin Turner

"At the end of the third session, I had the outcome I was wanting but we had also achieved effective goal setting in the process. I really appreciated Anil’s open and approachable manner and his ability to apply his personal experience in the workplace in his coaching. His commitment to ensuring I got value from our time together coupled with his deep understanding of what support someone needs versus what they ask for lead to a much better outcome for me than expected.”

- Judith Atkins

"I appreciate Anil’s ability capture the heart of the issue and pose it as a question. This allowed me to move away from describing problems to exploring behaviours to achieve what I want. Although time with Anil was limited, we were able to explore topics in depth, and by the end of the coaching sessions, I could describe ways to drop behaviours that don’t serve me and pick up the ones that do. I feel I learnt new skills to carry into my work. Thank you, Anil.”

- Richard Fowler

"I had an amazing experience with Anil being my coach. I could really uncover a lot of my potential which was right there but hidden. He supported, nudged, probed, guided to help me achieve my set goals.”
